Thought I'd mix up our ussual discussions here. So that's the question.

We now have 4 civilization games and a alpha centauri which is a civ clone, 3 pirates! games, 4 railroad tycoon games, and 2 colonization games. This used to be one of the great inovators in the field and it seems like now he's been reduced to replicating his past creations. Its sort of sad really.

Anyways, like I said all the discussions are starting to sound alike so I thought we could talk about something new.

dont forget sid meiers Gettysburg and its expansion. (and way before those worked on some figher sims) Sid works on some very good strategy game series and I dont think there will be a break from that genre for him just more sequels/remakes which is kinda sad because innovative games are getting rarer but the quality of the games are still pretty high - but hes also pretty old, 54 according to wikipedia, I wander how long he'll keep on working making games? still, can always dream of a new Alpha Centauri game (wihch doesnt use the CIV IV engine).

true ... now i think about he is only making spinoffs, remakes and sequels for the past few years (correct me if i am wrong) .... pretty disappointing imo, I would really hope he makes something new.

Oh yeah I did forget Gettysburg. Him and Will Wright used to be my favorite developers. Sid hasn't kept up well with Will I am afraid.
